Media army prepares to lay siege to Windsor as royal wedding fever rises

Thousands of UK and international media will be heading to Windsor ready to immerse themselves in royal wedding fever.

Some 79 international networks ranging from as far afield as Australia, New Zealand and Japan will be reporting from the Berkshire town as Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle this weekend.

Broadcasters from across the globe have been preparing for months for the ceremony on Saturday May 19, with intense interest in the American bride, who lived for a time in Toronto, coming from the US and Canada.

Forty six US broadcast affiliates will be covering the former Suits actress’s fairytale induction into the British royal family.

E! will be among those broadcasting live, declaring as it promoted its coverage: “When a Californian girl marries a prince we go big, like, five hours of live coverage big.”

As if the royal wedding couldn't be any more of a fairytale, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have selected the carriage for their post-wedding procession through Windsor. https://t.co/2UoPz0iaw8
